HMEP PROGRAM - TRAINING
Committee Chair James Johnston
LEPC District 8 was allotted a $35,304 Federal Department of Transportation Hazardous Materials
Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) subgrant through the Florida Division of Emergency Management for
the period of October 1, 2011 - June 30, 2012. The funding level was slightly different than prior
allocations due to the fact that it was essentially a proration of a nine-month Contract period while the
FDEM initiated the synchronization of all FDEM-administered Contracts to coincide with the State Fiscal
Year (i.e. ending on June 30, 2012). With the final scheduled course identified in the Table below, all FY
2011-12 HMEP Training dollars have now been allocated. These funds are designed to increase the
hazardous materials response training that is being made available to first responders within each LEPC
District. One important and noteworthy pre-requisite for these funds are that the courses must include a
transportation component.
The following Table identifies the FY 2011-12 HMEP training schedule by quarter for District 8 along with
the associated expenditures. Those course(s) appearing in italics, if applicable, have been approved by
FDEM but yet to be conducted:

1. Admin. expenses include indirects, internal service charges, auditing, building occupancy, travel time and small miscellaneous expenses.
Please note that italicized numbers (above) constitute an estimation at the time of Agenda materials preparation and could include committed
but yet to be conducted courses as would be identified. The true administrative expenses are tabulated to coincide with the end of each
quarter, as submitted to the FDEM under the HMEP Contract. The shortage identified above will be offset by funding from the Tampa
Bay Regional Planning Council.
2. While the dates of the identified training course actually fall outside of current Contract period, the LEPC was authorized to proceed with
the training on the premise that the Contractor MUST BE paid during the current Contract period.
3. The identified expense associated with the course was for advertising purposes only. The course was not funded under HMEP Program.
HMEP Training Subcommittee Chair J.J. Johnston has scheduled a HMEP Training Subcommittee meeting
on Wednesday, May 30, 2012 at 9:30 a.m. at the LEPC/TBRPC offices, one hour prior to the scheduled start
of the LEPC quarterly meeting. In order to progress towards the alignment of all State contract periods (to
end on June 30th), the LEPC will be awarded a short-term, three-month, HMEP Training Contract for the
period of July 1 - Sept. 30, 2012. As part of the Contract stipulations, the LEPC will be required to
coordinate first responder training in the amount of -$10,000 to be conducted during this time period. All
funds for training which will not be conducted during this period must be returned. Strategies and assessments of future training needs will also be discussed as it would apply to this and the nine-month Contract
which is anticipated to immediately follow and would complete the timing of the State Contract period.

REGIONAL DOMESTIC SECURITY TASK FORCE
Amanda Shaw
(RDSTF)
The Region 4 RDSTF includes three of the four counties of the LEPC District VIII - Hillsborough, Pasco
and Pinellas as well as Hardee, Polk, Hernando, Citrus and Sumter Counties. The RDSTF Co-Chairs are
Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee and FDLE Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Rick Ramirez. DEM's
primary role is in Consequence Management and each Regional Task Force also has a DEM representative.
For District IV, it is Joe Eckstein, Citrus County Emergency Manager.
2012 Interoperable Communications Functional Exercise
This functional exercise was held on March 29, 2012 at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Training
Division complex. The exercise simulated a surge in communication and calls for service during the
Republican National Convention. It built on the lessons learned during the 2011 Interoperable
Communications functional exercise, Region 4 ClearComm. Due to the sensitive nature of some aspects of
the scenario, participation in and observation of the exercise was by invitation only.
Training and Exercise Planning Workshop
Each county in RDSTF Region 4 was tasked with contacting responder agencies within their jurisdiction
to collect information on their training and exercise needs for 2013-2015. This information was submitted
to the RDSTF planner and will be included in an annex to the state training and exercise plan. The top 10
training events and top 10 exercise events from each participating county were compiled to form a regional
training and exercise calendar. The regional calendars from all 7 RDSTF regions in the state were presented
at the statewide Training and Exercise Planning Workshop on May 10. During this workshop,
representatives from each region combined regional data to create a statewide training and exercise calendar
and set the State training and exercise priorities for 2013 - 2015.

CSB’S “HOT WORK: HIDDEN HAZARDS” VIDEO
John Meyer
The U.S. Chemical Safety Board (CSB) recently released a safety video entitled “Hot Work” Hidden
Hazards”, detailing incidents which lead to an explosion at a DuPont chemical manufacturing plant in
Tonawanda, NY on November 9, 2010. The explosion occurred while contractors were performing
maintenance work on a tank. The USB issued the following recommendations regarding the conduct of hot
work: conduct atmospheric monitoring inside tanks before and during work; and positively isolate all
process piping, including vent lines on tanks, before authorizing work. The video is available for view from
the CSB website (www.csb.gov) or from YouTube® at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqskpvPejeU.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN SERC & USEPA REGARDING SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECTS
Chair Ehlers
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was finalized between the State Emergency Response
Commission and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in conjunction with the April 24, 2012 SERC
quarterly meeting. Provisions of the MOU would allow up to 75% of what would otherwise have been a
fine imposed by EPA for a violation under the EPCRA to fund a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP)
designed to benefit the local community. SEPs could be in the form of first responder training and/or
equipment purchase which would be negotiated between violating industry, EPA & FDEM personnel. The
other 25% must remain as a fine. The violating facility would always have the discretion to alternatively
just pay the fine. A similar MOU was in effect until it lapsed in 1999 and no action had been taken to
extend or re-create the agreement until now. It was determined that a pre-determined core listing of projects
(or equipment) shall be developed for each District in order to efficiently be administered in the event a SEP
option has been selected for a particular area. A survey will be completed by all Hazmat team members
statewide in order to serve as a needs assessment and to define this “core of projects” for each area.

TIER II SUBMITTALS FOR CY 2012
John Meyer
The State Division of Emergency Management has advised that facilities will be permitted to “upload” their
Tier II inventories using either Tier II Submit or Tier II Manager software programs starting next year. It
is envisioned that such allowance will result in a significantly increase of facilities desiring to report
electronically since 40 of the State’s already allow such programs for reporting. It was identified that only
57% of all facilities reported electronically for 2011.

“CALL BEFORE YOU DIG” PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT/CAMPAIGN
John Meyer
As part of the U.S. Department of Transportation's commitment to pipeline safety, U.S. Transportation
Secretary Ray LaHood launched a public service announcement reminding everyone from backyard
gardeners to professional excavators to call 811 toll-free before digging.
The national 811 toll-free telephone number should be used by anyone prior to digging so that underground
pipelines and other utilities can be marked and thus avoided during construction, landscaping and other
excavation projects. In recognition of the five-year anniversary of the Call 811 program, LaHood unveiled
national TV and radio public service announcements reminding the public to "Avoid a Grimm Situation Call 811 Before You Dig" and recognize advocates and retailers for their efforts to raise awareness of the
program.
Together with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, USDOT is engaging in a
national education campaign promoting safe digging practices to prevent injuries and deaths associated with
incidents from pipelines. There are 2.5 million miles of pipeline in our nation, and one-third of major
pipeline accidents are caused by someone digging and hitting a pipeline by mistake, which can be fatal.
The 36-second public service announcement/video is available for viewing from the Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration’s website (www.phmsa.dot.gov/pipeline) or from YouTube® at:
